**[Touch Win](https://github.com/zitrocode/touch-win)** is a cli program that helps you create various files with a single command, it is inspired by the "touch" command found natively in Linux and Unix based operating systems. Even though there are several programs/packages in [npmjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/touch-win) that help you get this command on Windows, **I assure you that there is no one like it**.
🧠 **Don't forget** to give a ⭐ if you like this project!
## ✨ Features
- It allows you to generate multiple files with a single command.
- Create folders automatically if they don't exist.
- Allows you to generate files from a base path.
- Allows you to generate files from a template.
## 📦 Installation
Install touch-win with your package manager:
```bash
npm install -g touch-win
```
## 🚀 Usage
```bash
touch-win --help
```
```bash
Usage: touch-win [options] [file ...]
Options:
-a, --author Show the profile of the author of this package [boolean]
-b, --base Base folder to place the file(s) [string]
-t, --template Template to generate files [string]
-v, --version Show version number [boolean]
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
Examples:
touch-win src/bin/cli.js src/helpers/file.js src/helpers/directory.js Standard use
touch-win --base src/components/new_component Component.js Component.css Use with option "base"
touch-win --template src/components/new_component/Component.[rn] js test.js css Use with option "template"
touch-win --template config/webpack.[rn].js build dev common Use with option "template"
```
As you have seen, **Touch Win** has some options that will help you create a new file:
#### 👨💻 With Base Option:
Forget to write the same path for the files you want to create with this option you can do it.
```bash
touch-win --base src/helpers/ alerts.js directory.js file.js
```
#### 👨💻 With Template Option:
It has a similarity with the "Base" option, the difference arises when you only need small changes in the names or paths of the files.
```bash
touch-win --template config/webpack.[rn].js common dev build
```
**Note:** It's important to put `[rn]` where you want it to be replaced by the arguments.
More examples with "template"
Change extensions:
touch-win -t src/components/my_component.[rn] js css
Rename the file:
touch-win -t src/helpers/[rn].js alerts directory file
